Your discussion is retarded and your analysis is pointless.

""maybe the next season will do this............"

All of this is stupid and pointless and the people engaging in it are retarded.

Post more theories about season 2 like it'll even loving matter.

What was the upside-down? What was the tulip-heads motivation? Did you guys see that thing in the background in that one scene? It surely means something!

I'm not sure if i'm ok with that one character with two lines of dialogue in episode 4 so maybe this show is bad?

The Duffers said they have a good idea where they want the story to go in season 2 and they intentionally left some things open in the finale in order to be able to build on that. I don't understand the desire a lot of people seem to have for them to just quit this story here. I mean, even if they do a second season and it sucks does that somehow take away from the first season? I still love True Detective season 1 regardless of how poo poo season 2 is. Same with early X-files seasons. Just because it got lovely and ridiculous in the later seasons doesn't mean the first 3 or so aren't still great. Regardless, I think when someone makes something this good you have to give them at least a chance to follow it up without sinking immediately into cynicism.

Oh I have no problem with a making of season 2 of any show, its just that so many of these new "original" series tend to get the first season right and the 2nd season so wrong. In either case, its ok to make it, I just hope they make it right (good). I wouldnt want them to not try, regardless.

dicussion is, objectively and subjectively, stranger things is amazing and hits all the notes

so anyone who gives it a lower rating than the one on rotten tomatoes is a sophomoric twit who is lost in the endless maze of consumerist america and cant appreciate quality things like I can

anyone also wants to improve and change it with ideas are comically dumb, because if you think u can do better y dont u pitch ur show to netflix and make something unless its all 2 much :effort: from all ur armchair criticism

He basically "died" off screen and his death wasn't really satisfying to the audience so I think he's probably been dragged off to the upside down or something.

I have an issue with episode 6 or 7..i cant remember which

but with how Eleven eats her eggos in the wild after stealing

btw i think its uncharacteristic of a good person like her to resort to stealing even though she broke a guys's spine with her mind and killed him instantly


those eggos were frozen

how can she eat them raw?? it dsoesnt make sense!! :psyduck:

Oh, but I wish it was an all new cast because all ends are tied up and the slug Will coughed up, went down sink into the town's sewage couldn't possibly have any repercussions that could possibly spawn a whole new season....IDGI!

I've got you covered buddy. That's one of the 1567 issues i've put in an alphabetized list and sent to the creators of the show and they have told me they are going to re-film the whole thing with every one of my braindead loving idiot suggestions taken into account.

They are also waiting for me to finishing writing the entire script for season 2 for them as well because i am an internet man talking about a thing so i matter to them.

be sure to replace the scene where Will and Jonathan are listening to the Clash

I think they should be listening to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam even though its insanely anachronistic and its actually because its a personal preference, despite their bonding moment over guy music

I find it Ironic that Will Byers missed the memo on Friends don't let friends lie

but so did Eleven when she disappeared and now resorts to eating eggos out in the wild supplied by Hopper. Unless she can only temporarily access the lockbox with what little energy she can afford to open a gate from the upside down, and is stuck there. :aaa:

given that song is a prime example of the 'George Orwave' genre that makes perfect sense

i just hate lazy soundtracks so much, esp 60s period pieces which are much more often than not guilty of this (Mad Men was not one of those, another reason why it was prob the best show of last decade...ffs they spend mondo money for the rights to a Beatles song and their choice? 'Tomorrow Never Knows')

anyways gonna crack a limon pepino and eat my leftover katsudon and start watching this rn since i already took the day off from work just to do nothing but get high all day long in my underwear. hope it delivers!

The soundtrack is being released on friday and people can listen to it on spotify at the moment so you can check that out if you'd like for an early preview if you haven't checked it out but definitely watch it Mariana. If season 2 and beyond goes just as perfect as s1 then I'm calling Stranger Things probably one of the better shows of this decade, way better than Game of Thrones.

I was really meta mocking about the Clash, even though I care little for them, it was pretty solid for the scene and served a purpose instead of some cheesy background song. It was being played on a stereo and the two brothers were aware of it. For a blatant "hey this is pretty loving 80s isn't it?!" it was good and :unsmith:

that Debarge link was good. I kinda wish I didn't live in such an age where you have to be facetious about things like this to appreciate it for what it is in the first place~

This song would be perfect for Mike and Eleven actually, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXvlzUCB74o
